Dear filmmakers:
In these changing times as Black and like minded film artists the world has become more complex and challenging. It has also awaken our creativity and diversity as people seeking a need to increase their awareness, find healing, and support artist of the Afro diaspora. The Vancouver Black Independent Film Festival in its journey wants to use film to create a space for BLACK artists to share their stories,visions, and award our excellence.
Since 2000, Fade to Black has advocated for black artists and their stories here on the North American west coast providing perspectives that often goes unnoticed, giving black artists and their audience help in finding solutions, and building upon them. The curated independent films presented by Fade to Black covers a wide variety of topics such as fiction & historical stories, Afro futurisms, activism & poverty, not to mention prejudice, the environment, sustainability, nature to sex/drugs and rock and roll and so much more. The Festival also gives opportunity for independent Black filmmakers to network and stimulate a conversation around identity working together in unity that inspire and reinforce the best in all of us … as a community.
The voice of the Afro community is now more important than ever. And your submissions are an important gateway in navigating these challenging times together for our future.
